Side Project Tribute

There's plenty going on over here, just not a ton of results to post (yet). In the mean time I'll post a Sensation tribute of a recent restoration I did of a Briggs WMB motor. I did it Sensation Orange. I included a "before" pic. And yes... It's the same motor.

What year was that engine made? Whats the story behind the restoration? Where did you come by the engine? I found this page which talks about the earlier model (the WM):

It's a '46. I got it off ebay literally because I was bored last winter and needed something to do. I kind of like them. It's actually a Maytag washing machine motor. I have 4 of them now. Ill post pics of them all one day when I drag them out of the shed. They're easy to get up and running and make look nice. My wife bought me a sandblasting cabinet, so I wanted to give it a go.
